Project Management

Effective management helps mitigate risk, which is why organisations that employ strong project management practices meet their goals two-and-a-half times more often than those that do not. Of course, not every organisation is equipped to manage their own construction projects — this is where Cumming Group comes in.

Your Project Management Questions Answered

Project managers use several tools to ensure successful project delivery, from design and planning to scheduling a build. Each construction project requires a unique set of tools to collaborate, allocate resources, manage task lists and time sheets, schedule teams and manage project execution.

Sometimes change is unavoidable, but through communication and objective and performance measurements, change plans can be implemented successfully. Change management involves identifying potential changes, evaluating their impact on a project’s objectives, and implementing approved changes while minimising any adverse effects on the project’s budget, schedule, and quality.

Project stakeholders must be informed as a project progresses. Multiple stakeholders can contribute and provide necessary decisions by breaking down large project parts into manageable sections and setting up a clear structure and regime. This also helps manage time constraints and generates maximum efficiency.

Scenario planning in construction is a strategic way to analyse possible scenarios that could impact a construction project. These scenarios are developed based on different assumptions about future events, such as changes in market conditions, regulatory requirements, or project risks.

We tailor our approach to achieve a common objective using our core project processes. Setting up effective project regimes, applying suitable trackers and continually monitoring and evaluating progress ensures we address key activities promptly. Ensuring stakeholders and consultant teams can inform on project milestones generates a greater level of engagement and accountability with which to measure against and deliver towards.

Delivering a successful construction project requires careful planning, effective management, and strong communication among all stakeholders involved in the project. These are some critical steps to help ensure a successful construction project delivery:

  • Clearly define project scope and objectives
  • Identify and manage risks
  • Establish effective communication
  • Select and manage a qualified team
  • Monitor progress and quality
  • Manage budget and resources
  • Ensure regulatory compliance
  • Conduct thorough testing and inspections
  • Complete proper documentation
